Thanks for the input, guys. I appreciate it. I guess we honestly don't know. From what you guys are saying, it could be a brooder fish, a trout that had a rough winter, or could be a camera lense effect. It could be anything.
Here are some more details about the fish and Its Behavior that might help narrow it down.
I was fishing, and Idaho Fish and Game showed up with a whole bunch of fishing poles. It turns out that there were a bunch of kids going on a field trip to Wilson Springs after going to the Hatchery close to Wilson Springs. Right when they arrived, I caught the first fish, the small rainbow trout. Then, the kids, and the adults all spotted the giant trout. Everybody was trying to get the trout, but it would not bite. It could see us, and we could see it. Maybe that's why it wasn't biting. It was a very smart trout.
I had my fly pole that day, and I was working on getting the fish myself. It was basically the kids, all the adults, and I all in a contest to catch this big fish. I put my fly down, and the fish swam by it. The fly accidentally bumped the side of the fish.
I immediately thought to myself, "Darn, I scared him away."
Then, the fish turned around after it was bumped, and immediately bit my fly. It's like the fish was mad at the fly for bumping him.
Then, I hooked him, and he put up a decent fight. I was able to bring him to shore, and all the kids were watching seeing that I got him. I tried grabbing him, but I couldn't with my Fly pole in my hand. He was fighting too hard. Then, a guy there volunteered to hold my pole while I was grabbing the fish.
I was able to grab the fish, and to be honest, the camera was not lying. His head was unusually big. I got the picture, then I went home with the two fish.
I don't know if this helps with the size of the Trout's head, but I still thought I would share it.
